A most enjoyable night out……

[mickd1961]

Met up in Harrogate with BaggieAl and Steviel81.

Very good company as always and a good laugh and hopefully we’ll repeat next week when I’m up north again.

If anyone else is reasonably local they’ll be welcome to join us.

Thanks again lads.

Thanks I used to love subbuteo!

When I wrote this, how weird does the name Subbuteo look? Wonder how this name came out!

Bored and just looked it up...
The name is derived from the Neo-Latin scientific name Falco subbuteo (a bird of prey commonly known as the Eurasian hobby), after a trademark was not granted to its creator Peter Adolph (1916–1994) to call the game "Hobby".

Everyday is a school day!

Did you ever get the floodlights Steve?
Loved Subbuteo...interesting name alright.

I posted a thread on here a few years back about subbuteo and it seems many of us on here owned the game as kids

Had a few extras such as the 'throw in' players, a stadium and some fencing. I was always busting the players heads off because i would often kneel on em as we didnt have a table to put the pitch on

I also had the floodlights which were used to great effect during the power cuts in the 70s.

I’m in the minority as I hated Subbuteo and loved Striker.
